yeah.. they aggressively sold and now probably burning cash.. i think hdfc infinia strategy of keeping it aspirational / exclusive at high fees but good benefits is the way for premium cards.. axis went all out and now paying price.. same thing with magnus...Vistatra anyways will merge with air India better to keep air India good card. There is no point in keeping card when renewal comes if not using the card. Paying 10k to keep gold status makes no sense for bank nor Vistatra, it's like pay me and use and keep the card or else just cancel the card. Anyways the fight for business class tickets or gold status etc all thrown off and end of discussion, people will come in normal ques in coming days. But due to merger I don't think this card will hold long enough. Once merger completes take an air India card which has best access and tire holding.
